PUD refunds bonds
CARLSBORG — The Clallam County Public Utility District will save $808,520 over the next 12 years through the refunding of 2008 Electric Revenue Bonds, officials said Monday.
“We were able to refund the Series 2008 Electric Revenue Bonds (ERB) at lower interest rates, which in turn helped us realize a significant cash flow savings,” said Beau Brown, treasurer and controller.
The bond provisions of the Series 2008 allowed for the refunding, and since interest rates had fallen, the PUD did so.
“Commissioners and staff take great care in the management of public monies, so with the opportunity to refund bonds that results in a savings like this, it only made sense to do so,” said Doug Nass, PUD general manger.
The Series 2008 ERB outstanding were $8,570,000 and are being refunded with a Series 2016 ERB issuance in the amount of $8,080,000.
The cash flow savings to the district is $808,520 (or $770,201 when considering the time value of money) over the next 12 years. The refunding of the Series 2008 bonds does not impact the final principal payment date, which remains due in 2028.
